Question

What was the goal of the temperance movement? A. To reduce alcohol consumption B. To win the right to vote for women C. To ban new immigrants D. To push for war with Spain

Answer 1

A. To reduce alcohol consumption

Answer 2

A - To reduce alcohol consumption

The temperance movement was a social movement to push against alcohol consumption. It began in the early 19th century, leading into the new area of social reforms for countries on their own and straying briefly from war.

B is incorrect as the right to vote for women's movement was called the suffrage movement.

C is incorrect as immigration laws were typically targetting certain races and were typically disagreed with by the public.

D is incorrect as there wasn't a movement for this, rather a general nationwide agreement to push for war with Spain after they apparently sunk the USS Maine.

Hope this helps!
